i don't think it's fair to rate this because I literally read it in under an hour, however, I will say this novella was still classic fredrik backman. i laughed, I cried ( was not expecting this book to hurt as much as it did), i smiled. love him. he never disappoints.

I'm still a little confused about the ending. Was that the grandpa, and then Ted's his son, Noah is his grandson who's actually grown now and has a daughter? So four generations in a room together. Or was the "grandpa" Noah's dad considering Noah is actually an adult in this book? The further I think about the more I believe it's the former. But I'm not 100% sure.

A very poignant short story about a man dealing with dementia and the comfort that his grandson brings in the midst of it. I was genuinely impressed by the prose at some points and how the author could truly make you feel such an array of emotions. Really sad, but also really beautiful.

A pretty terrible book for one that is trying so hard to be emotionally relatable.
Overwrought, under-executed.
Its only benefit was it made me bawl even though it was terrible.
